It was just announced that Katy is joining forces with The Sims and that she will be both featured in the game and have a creative input into the future development of the series.

“I always like to think of myself as a cartoon, and now I’m a Sim,” Katy said (via CNN).

“I love how you’re able to play out different stories through your Sims characters — giving them different careers and watching them succeed,” she added. “It’s cool to see the Sims’ stage performances in The Sims 3 Showtime decked out just like my California Dreams Tour — even my cotton candy video screens are in there.”
